Why is BirdTrade no longer completely free?
Despite our best efforts in banning and black-listing over 700 fraudulent visitors. Our free services were eventually taken advantage of by our fellow countrymen. UK Businesses decided they would abuse our systems by promoting their own products by sending spam messages to our members. Our previous setup only required registration to have the ability to contact an advert owner free of charge. As you can imagine these actions left our staff disheartened considering the amount of dedication and voluntary management to maintain a safer environment to buy and sell birds.

This service is dedicated to private bird owners ONLY!

We decided a few months ago that we would introduce some minimal-cost membership schemes, this would deter the "bad eggs". With financial backing BirdTrade staff can continue to serve it's members with safer tools to buy and sell their "feathered ones". Funds will also be used to frequently update our own systems. All members deserve their privacy and BirdTrade assures buyers of 100% authentic adverts, no hidden fees - we put you in direct contact with buyers and sellers from across the United Kingdom.
